PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT FOR THE
2024 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 5, 2024
The following information relates to the proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of Rocky Brands, Inc. (the “Company”), dated April 29, 2024, furnished to shareholders of the Company in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and any adjournment or postponement thereof. All capitalized terms used in this supplement to the Proxy Statement (the “Supplement”) and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.
The Company is furnishing this Supplement to correct a scrivener’s error in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the Proxy Statement, dated April 29, 2024. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders incorrectly states that the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Wednesday, June 5, 2023. The Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.
Additionally, a copy of the form of proxy card that was mailed to shareholders is being filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as definitive additional materials and replaces the form of proxy card that was previously filed as part of the definitive proxy statement with the SEC on April 29, 2024.
Except as specifically set forth in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged. From and after the date of this Supplement, all references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as supplemented hereby.
